Barn motor and tranny swap

[Charlief1]

     

I have 2.5" in total

There are operations that can help with that Steve. TB3 told me about them.

Let me know how it works out for you! 

They don't have an operation to shorten things Steve, unless you've created one.

Congrats Jason.

Glad that centimeter ruler has brought you so much pleasure

But the metric micrometer didn't register for you Steve. What's up with that? Should I fire up the the electron microscope?

Got the rest of the exhaust installed yesterday.  Managed to clean up the barn a little and still had some time so I asked the wife to help me put the hood back on.  Got it on and aligned.  I need to adjust at least one rocker on the passenger side, possibly more and re-torque the heads. Still waiting for the actuator and some valve cover breathers to come in...  I haven't taken it on the road yet. 

Gary, I'm running a full roller valve train on this engine.  Like you, I was on the floor with a flashlight looking for leaks.

Jason, it looks like you have hit a home run with this one.  I hope it continues to be trouble free. 

I apologize in participating in diverting your thread.  I should know better at my age

Me too!  I hope all is good when I start to turn up the wick as well but you know how that goes


No worries Steve!  I tell folks up front that I'm hung like a tuna can.  Only the wife knows the truth...  perhaps a few before the wife know as well  LOL!

[good2win22]

Had my first hiccup this evening. Must've jinxed myself with the tuna can comment. Got the actuator in the mail so I put on the second hand 6262. Adjusted the rockers and fitted the right size couplers. Re-torqued the head studs.  Adjusted the exhaust so everything clears. Did a look around to make sure I didn't miss anything and fired it up. What is this white smoke? Yep, sure enough the turbo is pissing oil out of the turbine side.  Damn the luck!  I was looking forward to actually driving the thing this evening. Shop fan is on high and pointed out the door right now blowing the smoke out of the barn. I guess the 49 is going back in tomorrow and Bison is getting a call for an over haul

Hopefully you killed a few skeeters Jason

Sounds nice, so good -had to listen a couple of times, knob turned to 11.
Co-workers less appreciative.

Well... I'm embarrassed to admit it but can you believe masking tape over the turbo drain can withstand 75#'s of oil pressure?  The tape was there from when I painted the turbo 3-4 months ago. Sandwiched between the gasket and the drain flange. I guess I should be thankful that the tape didn't make its way into the block.


In other news... Swapped back to the 49.  Checked everything again, reset the chip and went for a little drive. Going to have to get the bigger turbo fixed cause that little 49 wants to be in the boost all the time with this configuration.  Tranny shifted well. I didn't get on it any.  Well maybe just a little bit after all the oil burned off the inside of the exhaust. About 5 psi and I was pleasantly pleased.


Stopped and adjusted the fuel pressure with it still running and then went back out for about ten more minutes.  Filled up the tank with some fresh 93 and came back home.  Got it back in the barn and on jack stands looking for leaks.  None to be found so far thank goodness. Did a little adjustment on the exhaust tube from the test pipe back to the axle, it was just a little too close to the floor pan for my liking.


Bad weather is rolling in the rest of this week so I'll be putting on the TR6 ignition, installing the new scanmaster g and hopefully installing the wideband bung somewhere in the down pipe.  I need to do some reading as I'm hoping that I can ditch the AEM guage and just view the wideband through the power logger.

I was going to ask if there was a problem with the return line.
It's fine though installer error 😝

[good2win22]

So I ran into a new problem yesterday evening. Go for a short drive and shutdown to get a drink. Car won't start. TR6 gives me the code for no cam sensor signal. Reset the ECM, and come home. Pull the cam sensor cap and the tab is not broken on the cam sensor. Reinstalling conform the cam sensor position. Car cranks up with no issues. Skip to Sunday afternoon. Go for a drive and come to a stop sign, pull away and get the TR6 code for no cam sensor signal. Get home, reset the ECM and car cranks up no issues. 


Is this standard symptoms for a cam sensor cap about to shit itself?

[Scoobum]

Jason, I did a TR6 search on the other site. If it's a code 15...try swapping out the cap.

[larrym]

Check both plugs too I had a broken wire took for ever to diagnose had to repin the harness side.

. Code is 16

cap sensor plug and the engine harness plug?  I need to try and find a diagram. Want to see how the TR6 gets this signal
